According to a report by Calciomercato, Manchester United are interested in signing Atalanta midfielder Ederson in the summer. The Premier League club are ready to offer around €60 million to acquire the services of the player.
Ederson is performing well at Atalanta
After representing multiple clubs, Ederson signed for Atalanta in the summer of 2022. Since then, he has been a solid performer for the club. His consistently impressive performances have attracted eyeballs from multiple clubs.
Ederson has featured across 40 games in the ongoing campaign so far. In those many games, he has four goals and two assists under his name. He is averaging 1 shot, 0.8 key passes, and 0.7 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The Brazilian midfielder is a typical box-to-box midfielder who is known for his versatility, aggression, and intelligent plays. He contributes in both aspects of the game significantly. He has a strong aerial presence and is a selfless player on the field.
Manchester United need better midfielders
Manchester United face uncertainty over the contunuity of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. Moreover, Mason Mount has dealt with constant fitness issues. Hence, the club want to strengthen the midfield pack with the acquisition of Ederson.
The Brazilian has been an absolute beast at Atalanta, helping them perform well. He has all the traits to succeed in a top tier club like the Red Devils. He can help Ruben Amorim’s side immensely and help them function far better.
Manchester United are ready to offer as much as €60 million to land the 25-year-old. However, with major European clubs fighting for the player’s signature, the mentioned amount might not be enough to convince his club. It will be interesting to see if Ederson will be excited by this opportunity or not.
